Comprehensive Dental Checkups for the Whole Family

During Your Dental Checkup

Your dental checkup at Lakeside is a thorough, full-scope visit designed to protect your oral health and help you feel in control of your care. We use advanced diagnostic technology and a gentle, no-rush approach—so you always know what’s happening and why.

Teeth Cleaning

Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach. Your hygienist will gently clean and polish each tooth, helping prevent gum disease and tooth decay while keeping your smile feeling fresh and bright. We also offer personalized tips to improve your brushing and flossing routine—so you can protect your results between visits.

Digital X-rays

Our advanced digital X-rays provide instant, high-quality images with up to 90% less radiation than traditional methods. These images help us detect issues like decay, infections, or bone loss early—often before you feel any symptoms—so we can treat problems before they get serious.

Dental Exam

Dr. Raman Saluja or Dr. Drew Jerome will perform a full dental exam, checking for signs of cavities, gum disease, bite problems, and other concerns. We take the time to listen, explain our findings, and design a plan that fits your health goals, lifestyle, and budget.

You’ll never feel rushed or pressured—just informed and supported.

Oral Cancer Screening

As part of every checkup, we perform a quick but thorough oral cancer screening. We examine your lips, tongue, throat, and soft tissues for any signs of abnormalities. This painless, proactive screening adds an extra layer of safety and peace of mind to your visit.

How Often Should I Go to the Dentist?

Most patients benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. If you have gum disease, frequent cavities, or specific medical concerns, we may recommend more frequent visits.

We tailor your care schedule based on your individual needs—and make it easy to stay on track with flexible appointment times and helpful reminders.

Keep Your Teeth Healthy Between Visits

Your dental health starts at home. To protect your smile between visits:

  • Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
  • Floss once a day
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Avoid sugary snacks and drinks
  • Use a custom night guard if you grind your teeth

Simple habits, along with consistent checkups, help you maintain a clean, healthy smile for life.

Dental Checkups for Kids, Too

We welcome patients of all ages and love helping children build healthy habits early. Your child’s first dental visit should take place by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears.

Our team takes a calm, kid-friendly approach that helps little ones feel safe and supported. We also offer family scheduling so everyone can get care in one visit.
